Leeds have spent large parts of this season scarily close to the Premier League drop zone, with the endangerment of the Whites' hard-fought top-flight status leading to the sacking of former manager Marcelo Bielsa in February.
Since Jesse Marsch took over from the Argentine, United's results have improved and they recently put together a run of four games without a loss following six successive defeats.
The improvement in form has taken Leeds significantly clear of the dreaded dotted line, and Burnley's 2-0 loss to Norwich City meant that the Whites' fate is now in their own hands.
United don't have an easy run-in, though, and must take on the defending champions Manchester City and third-placed Chelsea before the season comes to a close.
But winger Jack Harrison says his side are determined to climb the Premier League table.
"For us as a team we are always ambitious," said Harrison.
"We are going to try to get as many points as we can.
"I feel like at this point the Watford game was a massive game for us so we are definitely happy with those three points but we will be pushing again next week for another three points."
